The autumn wind is strong and the earth's air is purifying and everything changes color. People should go to bed early and get up early to avoid the chilling air having adverse effects on the human body. The mind of the health maintainer should be quiet and peaceful, and the spirit and energy should be gradually reduced to adapt to the cold climate of autumn, not allow the will to wander outward, and keep the lung energy quiet. This is the principle of nourishing the autumn harvest energy. If this principle is violated, lung qi will be damaged, stubborn and reduced diarrhea will occur in winter, and the body's ability to adapt to winter will be reduced.

Autumn is the transitional season from summer to winter, from cool to cold, which means that the Yang Qi begins to decline in autumn, so it is said that "the weather is urgent." Generally speaking, if a person's yang energy is insufficient, he or she can use the yang-heat energy in summer to warm and nourish yang energy. People with insufficient yin essence can also use the energy collected in autumn and winter to conserve yin essence. Although autumn is cool but cold is approaching, you should gradually add more clothes and quilts, and do not add too much at once. As the saying goes: "Spring covers autumn and autumn freezes." As the saying goes: "Be careful when going out in March or September." Because September in the north is windy and rainy, the cold air is getting stronger day by day and can easily cause people to catch a cold. This is not only for people outside, but also for people at home to be careful not to catch cold. "If you want to be comfortable, take off and sleep frequently." Especially the elderly have low metabolism and poor circulation. They are afraid of both cold and heat. They are very sensitive to climate change and should add or remove clothing and quilts in time. The elderly's hands and feet have poor peripheral circulation and are prone to coldness, so they should pay more attention to keeping warm.

It is better to take medicine when you are sick than to adjust the medicine at any time to make the yin calm and yang secret, and the body is healthy. In some years, the autumn equinox responds with coolness but turns hotter. This is the so-called unexpected climate anomaly. We should be extra cautious about this to avoid feeling the plague. Elderly people, especially, should not report that their health is not good and the weather changes. This is the truth as the saying goes: "If you follow the rules, you will be harmonious; if you follow them, you will not suffer from serious illness; if you go against them, you will go against them; if you go against them, disasters will occur." This is the truth. In autumn, the weather is crisp and the weather is dry. Dryness is the main qi of autumn, so we should "prevent autumn dryness". The air of autumn dryness can be divided into warm and cool. For example, if there is no rain for a long time and the autumn sun is strong, this is a warm and dry nature; in the depth of autumn, it is cool at the beginning and the westerly wind is chilling, which is a cool and dry nature. Regardless of whether it is warm or cold, it is always characterized by dry skin and lack of body fluids. Therefore, the elderly should take less baths in autumn to avoid dry skin and pruritus syndrome. Due to the crisp air and dry climate in autumn, coughs or dry coughs without phlegm, dry mouth and tongue are prone to occur. It is best to eat some snow pears and duck pears.
